2005 Toyota Avensis 1.8L Petrol · WN55 AZG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in July 2025 at 106,125 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable following a significant mechanical failure in mid-2023. While the 2024 and 2025 tests noted minor advisories regarding corroded front bumper mountings and lens cloud, these are non-critical issues that suggest the structural integrity of the bodywork remains acceptable for now. At 21 years old, the recorded mileage of 106,125 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,000 miles. The data shows consistent usage, with intervals of roughly 3,000 to 4,000 miles between the annual tests from 2022 to 2025. This low-intensity usage often means less wear on the drivetrain, though it also increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components and seals due to longer periods of stationary operation. A buyer must pay close attention to the steering and suspension assembly, as the July 2023 failure at 99,596 miles identified excessive free play in the steering rack and a perished dust cover on the nearside front ball joint. While these were rectified to pass subsequent tests, a physical inspection is required to ensure no further play has developed in the steering geometry. The recurring mention of corrosion on the bumper mountings indicates the beginning of surface rust, which warrants a close check of the sills and structural mounting points to ensure the oxidation is not progressing into deeper perforation.
